Demand for gold will increase, prices will not fall much
According to commodity expert Ajay Kedia, this time in the budget, the custom duty on gold and silver has been reduced from 15% to 6%. Due to this, a decline in its price is being seen. But after the reduction in custom duty, the demand for gold will increase even more rapidly in the coming days.

Although gold and silver have fallen now, it can only be called a duty adjustment. Even if gold falls for a few days, it will cover it again. Considering the elections in America and global tensions, the prices of gold and silver will not fall much. This is a good opportunity to buy.

So far this year, the price of gold has increased by more than Rs 4,800

On the other hand, silver was at Rs 73,395 per kg at the beginning of the year. Which has now reached Rs 81,801 per kg. That is, silver has increased by Rs 8,400 this year.

Keep these 3 things in mind while buying gold

1. Buy only certified gold
Always buy certified gold bearing the hallmark of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). There is a 6-digit hallmark code on gold. This is called Hallmark Unique Identification Number or HUID. This number is alphanumeric i.e. something like this- AZ4524. Through hallmarking, it is possible to find out how many carats a gold has.

2. Cross check the price
Cross-check the exact weight of gold and its price on the day of purchase from multiple sources (such as the website of India Bullion and Jewelers Association). The price of gold varies according to 24 carat, 22 carat and 18 carat. 24 carat gold is considered the purest gold, but jewellery is not made from it because it is very soft.

3. Do not make cash payment, take the bill
While buying gold, it is better to make payment through UPI (like Bhim App) and digital banking instead of cash payment. If you want, you can also make payment through debit or credit card. After this, do not forget to take the bill. If you have ordered online, then definitely check the packaging.
